AN ACT relating to the Kentucky Building Code.

HB 206 modifies Kentucky's building code to allow multi-family residential buildings (up to 5 stories) with no more than 4 dwelling units per floor to use a single exit stairway, rather than requiring multiple exits. This applies to qualifying residential buildings (Group R-2) and directly affects developers and building owners constructing such properties. Key safety requirements include a maximum 20-foot travel distance to the exit, corridors separating units from exits, and restrictions on other occupancies sharing the exit path. The bill does not change fire safety standards but adjusts exit access rules for smaller multi-family buildings under specific conditions.
